I've asked it before and only one left leaning poster answered.. Name one detailed plan that Obama ran on and passed as described in his initial run for presidency. Hell, name one detailed plan any president has run on and passed in the modern era. Romney like him or not is being honest, laying out a framework and a goal knowing full well that he will need to negotiate with both republicans and democrats to achieve success.. It's that simple.

Everyone making the same amount every year, the Wal-Mart cashier and neurosurgeon both getting 100k? Sorry some people work harder, maybe you should have so you could be like these 'thieves.' I study my arse off in school hoping to be like the 1% one day.

They've been conspiring since the 80's to crush the middle class. Take a look at an income distribution curve and see how it's slowly but surely been draining up for years. Then go look at the policies of the conservative and moderate Presidents we've had who have enabled this trend.

Of course not. I'd like it to look like it did in the 50's and 60's.

The delusion of upward mobility. Unless you invent Facebook or something you'll never sniff it regardless of how much you study.

You're a clown. Depending on how you look at it, the 1% makes $344,000 annually. I'm a finance major. While certainly not guaranteed, definitely a possibility. Like the other guys in the thread have mentioned, that would be a byproduct of getting to financial security, which is what we are working our arse off to achieve. But pussies like you claim we are "stealing."
